theweaselkingAmerican neo-nazis and extremists openly calling for mass murder of immigrants and terrorist attacks on Congress until they change their goals.
So, what was that part about "Islamofacists" being the only ignorant religious extremists to demand this kind of thing?
And a pop quiz for those wondering why more Muslims don't denounce the Fatwas against gays and Americans: How many of you are immediately going to feel the need to openly and publically say "He does not represent us. We are perfectly happy with immigrants" just because you're white? Do you really think that needs to be said, that Hal Turner is assumed to speak for you if you *don't* say anything?
Also, on the topic of religious lunatics,
Creationists purchase the body of "Cy", the one-eyed kitten who made the rounds a few months ago, to serve as the certerpiece in a creationist museum to prove that all mutations must be harmful.
Creationists: repeat after me. "The plural of anecdote is not data". You can even add your obligatory "Duh, I eat poop" if you really want to.
Also,
White House says their official position on exposing covert agents and getting their contacts killed is now "It's not illegal, because Bush did it."
Also,
White House says their official position on wiretapping Americans without a warrant is now "It's not illegal, because Bush did it."
Also,
Right-wing lunatics taking the official Approved Conservative Position(tm) on the Duke University lacrosse team: The entire issue is the stripper's fault. Because she's a stripper, and black, there's nothing wrong with raping her, and she's a racist for thinking she MIGHT have rights when the accused attackers are white. Newsflashes, dumbass:
#1: They haven't filed charges yet because, as you yourself pouinted out, they're waiting on DNA results from 41 of the 42 members of the team. They're only going to charge the ones they think are guilty.
#2: It's not "racism" to exclude the only black member of the team from DNA testing when the victim alleges that all the attackers were white. Picking individual fratboys out of a crowd can be hard, but that *is* a dead giveaway.
#3: It's not "race-baiting" for the cops to investigate when a woman calls them, beat to shit, with enough material to justfiy DNA comparisons dripping off of her, and says she was raped. No, not even if she's black and they're white.
And is anyone else creeped out by YET ANOTHER instance of the "She's 27! That's post-puberty! She couldn't POSSIBLY be attractive!" cry coming up from the 101st Fighting Keyboarders?
Also,
Massachusetts solves the problem of those without healthcare, by legally requiring that you buy health insurance and providing legal penalties if you don't have it. For Mitt Romney's next trick, he will some the homeless problem by requiring every person in Massachusetts to buy a condominium.
Also,
New Hampshire contemplates replacing "You're going to love it here!" state slogan signs with "Live Free Or Die." This one, I can kinda get behind. Not as tourist-friendly, but, hey, good sentiment. If taken to heart, though, it would probably result in NH being forcibly depopulated by DHS.
